ngg_images shortcode not being hidden by strip_shortcodes

@aaronlutzeffx – We use a custom shortcode method that does not touch on global $shortcode_tags; and why this has not worked for you in the past as well.

I was not aware of this problem (nor the function) although I will write this up for our developers to review.

The only work-around that may help is to turn off our resource manager although I do not expect it to make a difference; as it is, try adding the following to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'run_ngg_resource_manager', '__return_false' );

Thanks!

Hi Cais,

Thank you for your reply. I have added your code to the functions.php file and the shortcode is still appearing.

It would be very helpful if you could address this issue with a future update, and touch base here again one day once fixed.

Thank you

@aaronlutzeffx – I did not think that filter would specifically help; and, as you have noted it does not, please make sure to remove it as it is key to our third-party compatibility code.

Unfortunately, as is, I’m not seeing this issue with other themes that just use the get_excerpt() or the_excerpt() functions with a defined limit. There may be more to this in your custom theme code that may need to be reviewed.

Have you tested your custom theme code without using the strip_shortcodes() wrapper?

Thanks!

Hi Cais,

I removed that filter you specified.

Also, the strip_shortcodes() wrapper wasn’t being used initially, that is when I noticed the problem. As the theme was custom-made by a third party, I will have to look into this further.

Thank you for your help.

@aaronlutzeffx – Thanks for the update, please let us know if you do find anything else.
